Week of 10/2 - 10/6

We will take the Central and South America geography quiz that we postponed before Fall Trip on Monday. We will also finish up our Native American projects this week.  

Our next project is a travel brochure for a Latin American country.  This project will allow you to explore the culture, history, geography, and economics of a Latin American country that interests you.

I will introduce the Long Term Project (LTP) on Wednesday, and we will start researching this week. 

Lastly, we will be presenting our 3D visuals on Thursday.
